Plants often encounter unfavorable environmental conditions because of their sessile
lifestyle. These adverse factors greatly affect the geographic distribution of plants, as well as …

NAC transcription factors are one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators in
plants, and members of the NAC gene family have been suggested to play important roles in …

The plant-specific NAC (NAM, ATAF1, 2 and CUC2) proteins constitute a major transcription
factor family renowned for their roles in several developmental programs. Despite their …

Abiotic and biotic stresses are major limiting factors of crop yields and cause billions of
dollars of losses annually around the world. It is hoped that understanding at the molecular …

Pathogenicity of most Gram-negative plant-pathogenic bacteria depends on the type III
secretion (T3S) system, which translocates bacterial effector proteins into plant cells. Type III …

Abstract The NAC (NAM, ATAF and CUC) family is one of the largest plant-specific
transcription factor (TF) families. Members of this family are implicated in plant growth …

MicroRNAs constitute a large group of endogenous small RNAs of~ 22 nt that emerge as
vital regulators, mainly by targeting mRNAs for post-transcriptional repression. Previous …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in plant cells primarily as by‐products of
aerobic energy metabolism. They are also generated during plant adaptation responses to …

Leaf aging is a highly regulated developmental process, which is also influenced profoundly
by diverse environmental conditions. Accumulating evidence in recent years supports that …

Transcription factors (TFs) are master regulators of abiotic stress responses in plants. This
review focuses on TFs from seven major TF families, known to play functional roles in …
